German nudists complain of Polish peepers
2008-07-30
(Xinhuanet) -- Patrons of a German nude beach on the Polish border say beachgoers on the other side of the border come to stare at the exposed skin. Ines Muller, a German naturist, said Poles come fully clothed to the beach on their side of the border and stare at the nude swimmers and sunbathers, The Sun reported Monday. "You feel like an ape in the zoo. The Poles come with their binoculars, stare and swear," Muller said.
An ape in the zoo? For sunbathing in your birthday suit at a public beach? Reeeeaalllly? Zounds.
Beach patrons said there used to be a fence separating the German and Polish beaches, but it was torn down as part of a 2007 agreement between the countries. "It's a nudist beach. It's terrible that the Poles come over dressed and stare," said German Elke Bernholz.

Some Poles said the proximity of the two beaches annoys them as much as it does the Germans. "It's horrible -- we would never bathe naked, we are Catholic," said one beach-going Pole from the town of Swinemunde.
"But we don't mind looking!" he added.

#10  Nudism has absolutely nothing to do with "looking". Nudists just enjoy the sun and the sea. There's nothing sexual about it. That's why it doesn't matter how you look like.

Nudists don't stare at each other. Only clothed people stare and nudists (and hope to find a pretty chick).

#6  For some reason, Germans have a weird fascination with apes. It was noticed by the artist George Grosz, and can be seen to this day in their zoos, where there is usually a crowd several deep to see the ape house.

#3  Anyone bathing in the Baltic or going naked at its shores should be declared terminally insane.

#1  A few weeks ago I was talking to a young lady who said that when she was 8 or 9 she went to visit family in Germany. She ended up going to the beach. She said she was scarred for life looking at all the old saggy baggy nudists.
